Elvis Presley in G.I. Blues (1960)

Goofs

G.I. Blues

Edit

Continuity

During the "Frankfurt Special" number on the train, Tulsa's seating position changes twice.

Factual errors

In the opening scene when Elvis and another soldier are loading ammunition into the tank, the shells being loaded are much too large for the main tank gun, which was 90mm on the M48 tank.
Lili offers to make food with Liederkranz, a Limburger-like cheese, but Liederkranz cheese was never authentic German cheese; it was developed in the USA by the developer of Velveeta.

Revealing mistakes

When Elvis is singing in the train, he keeps moving his left leg (knee), he stops playing the guitar to touch his left knee, but the guitar can be heard playing.
The scenes with the tanks in the beginning are partly and visibly sped up.

Miscellaneous

In the shower scene, all shown waist-up naked, besides a sergeant showering along with enlisted men, when focusing on him after Elvis takes his soap, the sergeant is shown putting his hands down towards his waist, in a sort of pulling up shorts gesture - despite, all being supposedly, presumably naked for proper showering ablutions.
When Tulsa brings the baby to Lili's apartment after breaking his bottle, childless Lili either just happens to have a baby bottle or finds one at 2:30 AM.
While Elvis is stood around in his tank overall, his name reads as Maclean but when his name is written down (or even credited) it's Mclean.

Audio/visual unsynchronised

When the G.I.s are on the train to Frankfurt, Elvis is singing "Frankfurt Special." He stands from the seat playing an acoustic guitar, but the music heard is actually an electric guitar.

Plot holes

Interesting that nobody in Germany seemed to speak German.

Character error

The G.I.s are wearing underwear in the shower.
When leaving the Cafe Europa, Tulsa stands half a head taller than Lili. In actuality Elvis was only a half inch taller than Juliet Prowse's 5'11".
About five minutes from the end Lili says to Tulsa "you underestimate your attraction" but she should have said "you overestimate your attraction" as she was putting him down and not complimenting him.
